Poker is massive! It has experienced an unprecedented explosion of interest. Partly this is due to television which has made household names of many poker stars. Who hasn't heard of Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey or the Devilfish? The other major reason for the success of poker is the internet. Now anyone with a computer and internet connection can get in on the act, playing against opponents from around the world.
This site is essentially a free online poker book. It is designed to help you develop from a novice to a competent, profit-making player. This site is particularly aimed at those people wishing to play poker online, but most of the advice is equally applicable to live games.
Use the links on the left to learn all about poker - not just the rules - but the tactics and strategies you need for profit making poker play when you play online!
The adverts on the right take you to some online poker rooms on the net, where you can download their free poker software. This site has a limited number of adverts because it is designed primarily to be a genuinely valuable poker guide rather than merely a depository for poker site adverts. However, these links do help support this site, so please do use them if you intend to play poker at these sites. If you aren't ready to play for real money, don't worry - downloading the software will enable you to watch games, play on play-money tables and enter freeroll tournaments, which cost nothing to enter but have real prize money.

Who am I?
As well as being a successful poker player, I also have extensive experience of teaching people about the game - not just teaching them the rules and winning strategies but giving them a real appreciation for the true nature of the game and for what the game requires in terms of character in order to be successful. I made this site for the benefit of both my own students and anyone who wants to get involved with poker and start with a solid foundation.
I hope you find this site useful. Above all - please take note of this advice: It is possible to make a consistent profit playing poker, but not everyone has the skills and discipline to achieve this - so it is good advice to always make sure that you only play with money that you can comfortably afford to lose.

Latest News: My new poker book is out!
Warning: May cause offence!
This website is mainly for online poker players, just learning how to play! However, if you're playing in a "home game" (you know - like a poker game around the kitchen table with some mates!) then you already know the basics of how to play the game. What you need are a bunch of tips on the most common errors for home game players and how to correct them! (After all, it's very different from playing on the internet) This is a short book containing what I think are the most useful tips for helping the average "knockabout poker player" improve their game and beat their friends in the home game! Short, but to the point! Could be the most immediately useful poker book you ever buy - and at just £1.99, who can argue!
Click below to Buy Now (via PayPal) and access the book immediately upon purchase! (Don't forget to save it to your harddrive when it opens!)
